The saccharin of exploiters is now bitter

Commonsense comes from knowledge and law

I think since I have gladly offered to let sleeping dogs
sleep (where they are not supposed to sleep) and move on, people will let me
rest. I DO NOT wish to meet with our brother and friend (Hon. Godfrey Gaiya) on
this matter. People should please let me be. Those financially benefitting from
the same moves should go on and enjoy their loot.

On the legal suit, I have voluntarily succumbed to words of
elders (either by age or by the positions they hold), especially some
colleagues and the FCT SWAN to let the matter die.

However, like Dr. Azikiwe told the Oyi of Oyi in 1982, “except
if it not the tradition of our people that elders are roundly lied against and
insulted by young men of the world, as I have been unjustly treated in this
matter, the reign of the lier will come to an abrupt and shattering end. None of
my words on this matter will not come to pass.

I shall NOT squint on this matter again.

DR.
NNAMDI AZIKIWE TO DR. CHUBA OKADIGBO (1981):

"My boy,
may you live to your full potential, ascend to a dizzy height as is possible
for anyone of your political description in your era to rise. May you be
acknowledged world-wide as you rise as an eagle atop trees, float among the
clouds, preside over the affairs of fellow men.... as leaders of all countries
pour into Nigeria to breathe into her ear.

But then,
Chuba, if it is not the tradition of our people that elders are roundly
insulted by young men of the world, as you have unjustly done to me, may your
reign come to an abrupt and shattering close. As you look ahead, Chuba, as you
see the horizon, dedicating a great marble palace that is the envy of the
world, toasted by the most powerful men in the land, may the great big hand
snatch it away from you. Just as you look forward to hosting the world’s most
powerful leader and shaking his hands, as you begin to smell the recognition
and leadership of the Igbo people, may the crown fall off your head and your
political head fall off your shoulders.

None of my
words will come to pass, Chuba, until you have risen to the very height of your
power and glory and health, but then you will be hounded and humiliated and
disgraced out of office, your credibility and your name in tatters forever...”
